I am disowning Canada Post!

They have been mis-delivering my mail to who knows for the last year. Some stuff makes it some doesn't and when I ask about it they are like "I dunno". Even putting in several formal complaints didn't help.

i had canada post loose a shipment of mine right before christmas only to complain to thier complaints department and have them tell me it was at my post office it took 6 trips to the post office for the dummys to find the package in the back of thier storage area. and after all that the package was found int a destroyed state (someone somewhere ran it over)and they claimed no responsability. if you have time you should check the canada post web site for their policies. lets just say their extra insurance doesnt give you sweet F$%^ All, i will never ship Canada post again

I just got a Christmas card from my brother today. He lives in New York (well, across the Hudson in New Jersey actually, but it's all one big city anyway and New York sounds cooler). Granted he left it a tad late as the postmark indicated it was sent Dec 24th. So I should have gotten this about 3 weeks ago, no? Well he got the street name wrong (Dufflin instead of Dupplin), but he got the postal code right. So I guess it took the PO 3 weeks to figure out that Dufflin is Dupplin .

Cheers,

Yesterday I received a package for something I had shipped to me at the beginning of December. The package was so damaged that the books inside were like puffy paper mache blobs! It came to me from Ontario.

You think Can Post is bad? Check out my latest UPS fiasco

OK, You all may or may not know I have a buisness. Like my user name wouldnt give it away. Now I need to get supplies for my buisness. Pretty much all the good suppliers are in the US. Powder makers that make the really nice powders, etc. Well, I get this UPS Import Brokerage acct. Figure that will help me with importing the powders. I make an order, to a company that I have dealt with before(cant remember how much was charged shipping on prev order) But, it was a 10Lb box of powder. No special shipping, powder is not hazardous, non toxic. $80 purchase price for said box of powder. UPS bill comes in today $106. I am furious. I called their 1888 number and chewed a strip of the lady.

1, the powder is made in the USA, came in with NAFTA papers and yet they still charged me Duty.

Shipping alone was over $65 ???

Just freaking UNBELIVEABLE.
Heck, I have has snowmobile engiens shipped to me, and sent out, Both ways around $130. 80-100 Lbs each motor to Michigan no less, not Portland, like where this powder comes from

My real problem now is that most companies only ship UPS now and it is getting harder and harder to be competitive when my costs are astronomical.
